Yellow Baron Ranch

Hidden away in Carbon County, Utah, Yellow Baron Ranch is the outdoorsman's dream. This parcel is ideal for recreation, and consists of 211+/- acres that span a variety of terrain including canyonland, flats, and bluffs, all with breathtaking views of Carbon County's magnificent yellow peaks. A fully paved road runs through the top half of the parcel; there is also a powerline directly on the property. Land Yellow Baron Ranch is 211.3+/- acres and stretches just over a mile in length. The top quarter or so of the property is made up of flats populated by grasses and sagebrush. From these flats, one can see for miles, and huge sandstone cliffs surround you to the north. The view is spectacular. Further south, the sagebrush flats give way to hills and bluffs covered in squat cedars. About midway through the ranch, these hills overlook an absolutely stunning canyon that winds from east to west along the property. From the right vantage point, you can see the canyon below and the yellow cliffs to the north at the same time. The combination is truly unique. These hills continue down to the southern border, although there is one more flat area toward the back of the property. The property is bordered by miles of BLM land to the south and partially to the north, and land owned by the Utah State Fish and Game Department to the west. The property’s approximate GPS coordinates are 39.656176 N, 110.945971 W. NOTE: The present zoning of the property is Mining and Grazing, which does not allow single family dwellings to be constructed. Recreation This property has so much potential it’s hard to imagine. The ranch is just over a mile long, and contains 211 acres to explore. This means one would be hard pressed to find a hobby that wouldn’t work for this ranch. Horseback riding, ATVs and UTVs, and motorcycles are all a possibility. The flatlands would be perfect for a track, jumps, and speed, while the hills to the back of the property could be used for rock climbing and trail riding. The property could also be used as a shooting range or hunting property. It’s hard to imagine a better location for a weekend getaway, especially with the benefit of the paved road going into the property. Agriculture In the past, the property has been used as a dry farm.
